Release that Witch

826. Chapter 826 Agricultural Mobilization Conference

    This time, the Months of Demon lasted for nearly five months. When the clouds dissipated and the sun shone again over the Western Region, the spring had passed.

    An urgent task is in front of Roland.

    That is spring ploughing.

    The war of conquering the Extreme Southern Region by Months of Demon, which is difficult for other forces, can save a lot of time, so that the next unified strategy can be carried out with ease, but the consumption of food is also amazing.

    Due to the lack of progress and the rapid growth of the population, the granary in Bentham District saw the bottom for the first time. Roland secretly thanked himself for the first thing after swallowing Longsong Stronghold, which was the Golden No. cultivated by Leaf. 1″ The seed was handed over to Petrov and ordered him to force the promotion of improved crops. Otherwise, this Months of Demon is really bad.

    The cement vessels that traveled between Bentham and Longsong formed the lifeline of the First Army, and a large number of wheat-grinded rough-faced pancakes were distributed by shipping to the frontline soldiers.

    So Roland held a spring farming conference on the second day after the “Victory Day” celebration.

    More than the Ministry of Agriculture, the entire City Hall, including the second officer of the Longsong region, and the division governor Petrov, Fallen Dragon Ridge governor Speer, were summoned to the Neverwinter City fort. Among them, Speer Percy was directly transported by Macy. When the landing was over, the entire cheek was pale, and there were a few more resentments when he saluted him.

    The feudal lord Calvin Kant, who temporarily governs the northern region, was replaced by his daughter Edith and the second son Kohl. I don’t know if it is an illusion. Roland always feels that the Pearl of the Northern Lands returned from Great Snow Mountain has a brighter look. The look of the eyes, Kohl behind her, is a lot weaker, and that set of clothes…Is it too neutral?

    In any case, the representatives of the Greycastle parties have been gathered at this meeting. Apart from the eastern region that has not yet been reconciled, and the central region that has not yet established the City Hall system, this is basically a national qualifying congress.

    He looked around the hall with satisfaction and then knocked on the table.

    The crowd suddenly calmed down and immediately turned their attention to King.

    “I know you must be very strange, why do you use the word combat on the banner,” Roland said, pointing to the red cloth banner hanging on the wall behind him. “Because this is a war. It is not only related to whether this year’s strategic plan can be implemented smoothly, but also determines the correctness of Neverwinter’s rule! As early as the beginning of the refugees, I promised that as long as they are willing to work hard, there will never be a day of hungry. ”

    “I did this for the last three years. The territory has expanded from a secluded side town to a big half of Greycastle. It doesn’t make sense that this year will not be realized. Citizens only have to eat and drink, the kingdom will be stable, so I ask everyone to take seriously the spring farming, according to the Ministry of Agriculture’s charter and planting manual to complete this year’s farming. ”He is paused, “and from this year on, agricultural work will carry out special assessments, including the area of ​​reclamation, the number of farmers and agricultural output, will become the standard to measure your suitability for a place!”

    Looking at the stunned attendees, Roland couldn’t help but raise his lips. “It doesn’t matter what you don’t know about these assessments. Then the Minister of Agriculture Seney will spend a day explaining them in detail. All in all, if I fail to meet the standards I have requested, I can only show that my ability is limited and I am no longer suitable to continue my career as a governor. ”

    Although everyone did not say anything, it can be seen from the look that they are obviously nervous.

    This is exactly what Roland wants, canceling the noble system, and in addition to being able to take back the fief power, one thing is that the territorial officials are no longer lifelong hereditary systems. He does not mind that these people enjoy their rights, but they are not allowed to drag down their development plans.

    The agricultural assessment is only the beginning.

    Roland unveiled a curtain behind him, revealing the numbers marked in uppercase red. “The other standards of the first year can be relaxed, but on the agricultural output, I ask you to reach this number!”

    Everyone was practically sucking a sigh of relief, “Fifty thousand?”

    He is not surprised by this reaction. After all, according to the average level of this era, the average city’s annual harvest is about 10,000, and the import towns like the old Kingdom Capital can reach 15,000. Border Town first used “Golden No. At the time of 1 “, it was only over 7,000 baht, and it was already a big harvest at the time.

    Of course, the actual harvests in various places are also closely related to the farmland area and the number of farmers. Unlike Border Town’s development of high-yield agriculture, the big city relies on the savage cultivation of the surrounding villages and the tens of thousands of farmers to get so much food, so he will put these two into the assessment.

    After all, the fewer farmers, the more workers there are in the factory.

    Roland reached out and signaled everyone to be quiet. “In fact, wait until you see Golden No. When you have an experimental field of 2, you will think that this goal is not a fantasy story. After repeated testing by Leaf, Golden No. The unit yield of 2 can be more than twice that of No. 1 and the wheat ears in the field are enough to overwhelm the straw. ”

    This time Petrov was exclaimed, “Your Majesty…Can you really more than double? ”

    Among the foreign officials, only he is to Golden No. The amazing production of 1 is the most impressive – in the entire Months of Demon war, the Longsong region provided more than 50% of the ration for the First Army, because it was replanted to Golden No. After 1 there was a lot of surplus food. Switched to the previous ordinary wheat, even those who support a city can not do.

    “It is true, but Golden No. 2 It’s not all flawless,” Roland looked at the side of the Leaf. “The next step is Miss Witch of Witch Union to tell you more about its features. ”

    After the leaf nodded, she took a bag of ripe wheat and walked to him and began to show everyone “Golden No. 2”, “It’s different from all the wheat you’ve been in contact with before, it can only be planted once, so every year you have to come to Neverwinter City to pick up new wheat. I have also greatly strengthened its root system so that it can absorb deeper nutrients in the ground, but it also makes it extremely fertile and needs to be mixed with fertilization, otherwise it can only draw three plots to take turns to fall. And

    Roland looked at the beginning with some restraint, and the more smooth the leaf behind, the touch of the chin satisfactorily – Golden No. 2 It can be said that it is a new type of wheat with its own golden stalks. The roots can extend to four to five meters underground and strengthen the absorption capacity of fertilizers. Apart from continuous reproduction, the other aspects almost completely surpassed Golden No. 1 .

    The only downside is the advantage for Neverwinter City – the inability to leave seeds means that once other cities start planting Golden No. 2, it is inseparable from the supply of the new Kingdom Capital, while other low-yield wheat will be squeezed out of the market, which is beneficial for him to monopolize the sale of food and attribute this natural resource to the state.

    Roland believes that no farmer will try to grow Golden No. 2 will return to plant ordinary wheat.

    As long as the new improved seeds are promoted nationwide, the shortage of food in various places can be greatly alleviated.

    With food…Naturally, it can accommodate more people.

    After all, just being a Greycastle doesn’t make him happy.
